Marīci
c. 1450 BCE · Pushkar
Legendary primordial sage with no historical existence; treated in tradition as a mind-born son of Brahmā and one of the first Prajāpatis. The date is a purely conventional placement at the earliest Vedic stratum and carries no historical claim.
Marīci is a legendary primordial sage of Hindu tradition, counted among the Saptarishi (seven great seers) and described as one of the mind-born sons (mānasaputra) of the creator-god Brahmā and one of the Prajāpatis (lords of creation). Tradition makes him the father of the sage Kaśyapa, and thus an ancestor of gods, demons, and other creatures. He is a cosmological figure of the Vedic and Puranic mythological corpus, with no historical basis; any date given for him is symbolic rather than biographical.
